Pycon is where I find the technologies and techniques that I use the entire next year in our development cycle.

I also get to rub elbows with the maintainers of the packages we use. Great for future support!

PyCon provides extremely cost effective training. For the cost of a typical training program ($1,500) attendees have access to a wide variety of tutorials, presentations and discussions. Add onto that access the authors of libraries and tools they use and you have some very compelling reasons to attend PyCon.
